Rustic Falls is an interesting little 47ft roadside waterfall that ripples over a basalt cliff giving the falls a distinctive character to it. It also has somewhat of an unusual fan shape as well. The falls resides below the western slopes of Bunsen Peak in a section of the Grand Loop called the Golden Gate. The area posed a challenge for engineers to build a road through the area. There's a pullout letting you view the falls from its brink roughly some 4.6 miles south of Mammoth. However, I think you can get better views if you walk along the road from here until you get more frontal views of the falls.
